Given? That's a bit optimistic!
That's a big squad. Can't see the point of having Given there.
No James McCarthy ???
Keith Treacy done anything to deserve a call up? Had forgotten about him to be honest
Leon Best seems to have dropped out of contention as well.
Hope hes not gonna be over looked for not going to the end of season training campQuote:

Fear not, an able replacement presents itself in Caleb Folan ;)Quote:

Where is McCarthy?? Ah Trap, what's going on?? :mad: He's not injured is he? What about all these lads we were led to believe were sorting out their passports? Was Paul Green it??We need something extra than this, some new blood to take us one step further and qualify for the Euros.
Presumably McCarthy is going to be involved with the U21s instead? Have checked around and there are no indications that hes out injured.
I know he got injured lately but looks like we shouldnt be expected A Reid back this campaign either.
probably one of the weakest ireland squads in recent memory
Keith Andrews-well below average
Glenn Whelan -well below average
Darron Gibson -bad
Paul Green -nobody cares
Liam Lawrence -decent
Aiden McGeady -decent
Andy Keogh -nobody cares
Damien Duff -good
Keith Fahey -dont no-somethin different anyway, more style than any1 else
Keith Treacy -terrible
Cillian Sheridan -no hoper
Robbie Keane -good
Kevin Doyle -good
Caleb Folan -no hoper
Shane Long -nobody cares
If I was a psychiatrist I'd probably prescribe something to help alleviate your gloom.
Yes he's in the U21 squad with Cillian Sheridan but unlike Sheridan isn't joining the Senior squad for the game the next day.Quote:

Noel King will be glad to have him on board and its more beneficial to have our more promising players playing football, U21s or not, than sitting on the bench for the Seniors.
Its always the same when squads are named, people question the people who are missing rather than get behind the lads who got called up. Given, Dunne, Kilbane and McGeady had to come back into the squad so somebody was going to miss out. Several players are carrying knocks anyway(Wilson, McGeady, Keogh, Foley) and I'd be suprised if McCarthy wasn't included in the end or told he was on standby regardless.

Just seen Trapatonni's interview on 6 one news and was a bit surprised with his comments about McCarthy. Why does he want to monitor him over the next few weeks of the English season- surely a game like this would be ideal for the lad, even if he dosent play getting to know the rest of the squad and taking part in training sessions would be of benefit going forward.
The mind boggles when you see some of the others who have been called up.
